Biography
Jeffrey Scott Chiesa was born in Somerville, Somerset County, New Jersey in 1965, and he grew up in Bound Brook. In 1988, he joined the Dughi, Hewit & Palatucci law firm, where he befriended Chris Christie. In 2002, he followed Christie to the office of US District Attorney, serving as his counsel before returning to private practice in 2009. That same year, he headed Christie's gubernatorial transition team, and Christie then named Chiesa his chief counsel. From 2012 to 2013, he served as Attorney General of New Jersey, and, following the death of US Senator Frank Lautenberg in 2013, Christie appointed Chiesa to serve as his temporary replacement. Ultimately, the Democrat Cory Booker won the special election.
